Norte Maar presents the return of its ambitious collaborative event The Brooklyn Performance Combine, a mashup of poets, painters, performers and this time includes aerialists and a meteorologist! The two-hour durational event will take place at The MUSE (350 Moffat Street, Bushwick), on Saturday, June 3, 7-9pm. Tickets are $20 General / $15 Seniors + Students. All proceeds to benefit the collaborative mission of Norte Maar.

Not so unlike the historic Theater Event #1 that took place at Black Mountain College during the summer of 1952,and Norte Maar’s own End of the World performance at English Kills, The Brooklyn Performance Combine Event unites all art forms in a fusion of poetry, sound, dance, and performance in a single cohesive 120-minute event. It will be epic.

A timer will start the countdown for the performance. Each artist will be programmed to begin and end at a time designated through chance operations within the 120-minute interval. At times a poet will be reading while a sound artist is performing. A dancer will enter, perform and depart. Sounds will overlap. There will be silence. Every aspect of the performance will be unrehearsed, live, spontaneous, and uninterrupted. Audiences can come and go as the event clock ticks out of time.

Highlights include:Critically acclaimed sound artist, Maria Chavez, who will set the pulse for an evening of coincidence, spontaneity, and reverie. “Over the last decade, Chavez has pursued pristine and thoughtful turntablist work.”- The WIRE

They both love to sell tickets but PT has principles. In a reverse of her usual process, Ara created the material first as a series of short films with Peter Cunningham whose grandmother was famous for handing out condoms in Harvard Square for Planned Parenthood.
